Yes even simple things seemed so much better back then...with only one channels there was never a choice to be made what to watch, when we were told to go out and play winter or summer we never got bored, and best of all when we chatted with friends it was always face to face.

Nice walk down memory lane, I was ten when we bought our first television. The first battle was the rabbit ears, the second battle was who was going to climb the roof to put up the antenna, all that work for seven channels. To answer your question, yes and no. I like the technology as a tool in the tool box. My first introduction to the computer was the "T-2" that was the prototype to the Univac. It was the first and only time I got to walk inside a computer, can't do that now. The other side of the coin is the dependency I see on technology and schools don't teach basics anymore. Technology was suppose to be another tool in the tool box, not a replacement for active minds.
Be always safe,

Ed, this is great. I'm old (64) enough to remember all this. I agree with Ed. We are not better off now and it will only get worse. With today't technology, we don't have to be face to face. That's sad because it is enjoyable to be able to just sit and talk. Those were the days.

Nope, we are not better off now. We may think we are, but we aren't. We have no concept of companionship. Not true, deep down companionship. We can walk on the moon, but unless we have Facebook or Myspace, etc., we can't converse. We have no true grit, merely passing moments of wonderment.
